Aspiring data engineers, here are four course bundles that’ll make your career

So…you wanna be a data engineer. It’s a smart choice, especially considering data engineer positions are generally six-figure jobs. Of course, they don’t just hand those jobs out to anyone pushing a resume.

Understanding how data systems work is highly specialized knowledge. You can take a big step toward holding all that knowledge with the training found in these four course bundles from TNW Deals, each $400 to $1,000 off their regular price.

Databases are the backbone of networked systems — and SQL is the backbone of a database. So pick up this 9-course collection featuring over 60 hours of instruction on everything you need to know to create, integrate, manage and secure database operations. You’ll also learn critical app development skills along the way as well as tips for writing SQL queries for non-engineers. Even if you’re a true beginner, databases won’t seem so scary after this training.

Big data — the process of analyzing giant sets of figures to find deeper patterns and connections — is the basis for machine learning and artificial intelligence. That means it’s one of the fastest growing fields in technology, which makes this 9-course, 64-plus-hour bundle invaluable for any burgeoning engineer. These courses will show you how tools like Hadoop, MapReduce, Spark and Scala can help make the impossible not only possible, but doable.

If you’re working with databases and large data sets, you better understand Python. As the programming language increasingly at the heart of advanced data science, this package of eight courses introduce Python and all its applications. With simple syntax and intuitive coding practices, this training will get you programming with Python quickly. Then you’ll see how this language can be used for app building, game creation, system networking and more.

Engineers need to know Tableau 10 because it’s the pre-eminent data visualization tool around. As you work through these five courses, you’ll unlock how to turn mountains of raw information into easily digestible charts and graphs that you and your company can use to start making better informed decisions. If you want to build a case for your projects or ideas that will earn buy-in from your boss and co-workers, Tableau 10 will help you win that agreement.
